    What do the respect of the officials have to do with them calling the game properly lol. SGA is kicking his feet out and hes hooking people under the arm while driving hes pretty much fouling them and getting free throws

    OKC shouldn’t go to the NBA Final because they’re too good? So who’s going to stop them? Maybe the refs…

    Ok, so it’s Shai’s fault that the refs give him calls? Luka had 13 FT attempts at halftime the other day. JB gets at least 10 FT attempts per game. Giannis always lives on the line. It is what it is. As far as “techs,” Cade was swearing at the ref. That’s going to get you tee’d up. Deal with it instead of crying about it.

    Why do they keep saying Boston would sweep or beat the Lakers when they only beat them by 4 WITHOUT 3 starters..? None of these teams are built like that, this league is pretty mediocre. The Celtics are not the Warriors or the Bulls.

    We get Perk is a a homer but IT’S KNOWN FACTS the 3 major teams are Yankees, Cowboys and Lakers.

    This isn’t even a DEBATE.
    By far the most popular and iconic FINALS match up will ALWAYS be Celtics vs Lakers.

    Shai manipulates referees like nobody I’ve ever seen. It’s not about the foul calls. It’s about how he gets them. It’s all acting. You can rewatch all his fouls I’m certain atleast 40-50% of them it’s just crazy acting by him. Atleast when James Harden and Trae Young did it they were manipulating certain rules (which got fixed). Shai actually just flails his arms when he knows he’s cooked and gets rewarded with a call. Nobody complained when Giannis gets hella FTs. Cuz we know that they are legitimate fouls 90% of the time.

    Weren’t they chanting MVP for Steph at the garden? Arent the Warriors the most valuable club, ahead of the second most valuable Knicks by $1.3 billion?

    I think these talking heads dont understand the value of global support.
